§ Mr. Strangasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people were unemployed in the Edinburgh travel-to-work area in each November of the past four years, expressed (a) numerically and (b) as a percentage; and what are the corresponding figures for males and females, respectively.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherThe new computerised count of records of claimants at unemployment benefit offices, which has replaced the count of people registered for work at jobcentres and careers offices, means that comparable figures for each of the past four years for the Edinburgh travel-to-work area are not available, but the following table provides the totals on the old basis for each November from 1979 to 1981 and on the new basis for November 1982:
Report a list of prisons in England and Wales; when each was built; what maximum recommended occupancy each has; how many inmates are in each prison; and how many inmates in each prison are unconvicted awaiting trial
§ Mr. MayhewA list of prisons and remand centres showing the certified normal accommodation, population and numbers unconvicted awaiting trial in each as at 31 October 1982 is as follows.
